2022 Chapters Indigo Best of the Year, Long-listed
2022 Amazon.com Best Books of the Year, Long-listed
Winner of Best Audiobook at the 2023 ITW (International Thriller Writers) Thriller Awards.

This audiobook includes a bonus conversation between the author and actor Brandi Cyrus.

Things We Do in the Dark is a brilliant new thriller from Jennifer Hillier, the award-winning author of the breakout novels Little Secrets and Jar of Hearts. Paris Peralta is suspected of killing her celebrity husband, and her long-hidden past now threatens to destroy her future.

When Paris Peralta is arrested in her own bathroom—covered in blood, holding a straight razor, her celebrity husband dead in the bathtub behind her—she knows she'll be charged with murder. But as bad as this looks, it's not what worries her the most. With the unwanted media attention now surrounding her, it's only a matter of time before someone from her long hidden past recognizes her and destroys the new life she's worked so hard to build, along with any chance of a future.

Twenty-five years earlier, Ruby Reyes, known as the Ice Queen, was convicted of a similar murder in a trial that riveted Canada in the early nineties. Reyes knows who Paris really is, and when she's unexpectedly released from prison, she threatens to expose all of Paris's secrets. Left with no other choice, Paris must finally confront the dark past she escaped, once and for all.

Because the only thing worse than a murder charge are two murder charges.

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

Editorial Review

No frills, just thrills—and a Billy Joel quote
It's not often that a thriller starts with a Billy Joel quote, so when I heard the opening of Things We Do in the Dark, I knew it was going to be one of my favorites this year! Paris Peralta is arrested in her bathroom, covered in blood and holding the murder weapon next to her dead husband. As bad as the situation looks, Paris's main concern is her hidden past resurfacing. As her shocking past is unraveled, the story becomes more addicting. The complex characters, different POVs, and stunning twists had me opting to sit by the pool all day long listening, while I thanked author Jennifer Hillier for releasing this just in time for my birthday. — Patty C.

Predictable

Super predictable. Didn’t love the narrator. Usually love her books but this one fell short.

Unique take on a Whodunnit with interesting characters

I really enjoyed this book and the narrator! I feel like many whodunnit stories become cliche by trying too hard to force every character to have a motive. I don't even think the mystery aspect of this book was where it shined the most. Rather, the gradual revelation of Paris's troubled past and struggles was gripping and kept me listening intently! Excited to read more of Hillier's work!

Twisty and tangled

What a great listen! The author takes us through an emotionally tangled ball of history and slowly unravels knot after knot of emotional trauma. Leaving us with the most well done story of ultimate triumph. Such a good one!
